The exercises, known as Joint Sword 2024-B, will take place in the Taiwan Strait and in the north, south, and east of the self-governing island, according to China’s military. They will include the army, navy, and rocket forces.
The exercises would focus on a blockade and control of strategic ports and localities as they approach the island, according to a spokesman for China’s Eastern Theatre Command.
The action has been described as “irrational and provocative” by Taiwan.
One “stern warning to the separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces” is what China claims it is.
Taiwan celebrates its national holiday last week. President Lai stated that China has “no right to represent Taiwan” and that the two countries are not “subordinate to each other” during the festivities.
I will keep my promise to oppose annexation or any intrusion on our sovereignty, Lai added.
The president of Taiwan’s speech, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, broke the historical ties between the two sides of the strait.
It once more revealed his steadfast support for Taiwanese independence and his evil plan to escalate tensions across the Taiwan Strait in order to further his political agenda.
